My apologies to those of you who had trouble folowing links from this page. I pasted it over hastily from James' wiki and got interrupted before I had time to manage the links. All of the articles should now be intact: Iet me know if you have trouble following any of them. - Neil.

In the final summative assignment there is a need to draw upon some work on teaching approaches as well as the content that was the focus of the assignment 2.

Practical and investigative work are mentioned specifically but models and analogies are likely to crop up.

I have put some papers up here that may help with this

Remember, please don't feel the need to read and digest every word. The aim is to provide a background to your thinking and ideas, thoughts, approaches, etc... that you can use to support and strengthen the points you make in the summative assignment.




The SASP leader at London mentioned a potentially good book:

And from this book - Pages 110-112 on
